Descripción editorial

WINNER OF THE PRIX RENAUDOT

'This took my breath away, again and again. Lafon is magic. She takes us into the hearts of her characters so quickly and so intimately that we see them as they see each other, and feel with them the devastations, desires, longings, secrets and loves that shape the family over generations. A thrilling read in Stephanie Smee's masterful translation' Anna Funder, Sunday Times bestselling author of Wifedom

'A magnificent novel' La Croix
'[Lafon] breathes life into language . . . pure and rich' Le Monde
'Captivating and heartbreaking from beginning to end' Le Figaro Magazine

This is the story of a family and the secret that lies at its heart. André is the son, raised by his aunt in the French countryside. His mother Gabrielle, beautiful but distant, lives in Paris. Surrounded by his cousins, far from the noise of the city, André's childhood is a happy one. No-one questions the absence of his mother, or dares voice the name of his father.

But beneath the quiet joy of the everyday lies a tragedy, passed down through the generations. Over time, the truth will come to the surface, whether the son desires it or not.
